Re: 1996 850R - Worth buying with damage?

Seller's ALWAYS have a 'buyer coming today' ;) Just to add to the pressure. If its that far away, and it needs to be trailered, and the damage is anything other than front end bodywork it ain't worth more than $750 to you. If they could proove it doens't need anything more than that, and has a fresh...

Re: Home-made 850 chassis brace

I guess the acid test would be thus;....

with the brace fitted does it reduce or eliminate all that rear end trim from ratting about?

Re: V70 subtle boost + EGT gauge mount

Thats pretty much my issue, I don't want people behind at night to be able to see it. A pillar mount gauges also make it look like something from a street racing film lol, which it ain't, its a 15 year old diesel lol. Vent mount might be an idea, but it gets pretty cold round here, so quite like war...

V70 subtle boost + EGT gauge mount

Hey guys, any chance of some photos or ideas for a subtle boost + EGT gauge mount solution in a V/S/C70? Its a TDI so need an EGT gauge too, though the combined boost & EGT gauges are about £150/$200 which is a bit out of budget! I've seen a neat one on a V70 where the boost gauge (IPD?) was mou...

1998 V70 - Tailgate / boot seal worn through

My tailgate / boot rubbers are in a very bad way, even with the latch and rubber bump stops adjusted to the max it can still rattle and over the years it has worn through all the seals on the boot-lid/tailgate itself and worn away the paint (and some metal) on the body of the car (please see photos)...
